Reissues
Kill!
Berto Pisano's lost 1971 masterpiece finally surfaces. His Kill! soundtrack blends gritty funk, sophisticated lounge, and psychedelic experimentation into magnetic perfection. Wah-wah guitars, hypnotic grooves, and exotic instruments create a seductive world of espionage and eroticism. Holy grail for collectors, now on transparent yellow vinyl edition of 500.
Il Dio Sotto La Pelle
Piero Piccioni's hidden masterpiece finally emerges. His 1974 Il Dio Sotto la Pelle soundtrack fuses jazz, psychedelic orchestration, and world music into transcendent spiritual journey. Ethereal strings, exotic instruments, and contemplative atmospheres mirror the film's exploration of identity and the sacred. Double transparent orange vinyl edition of 500.
Fellini Satyricon
Nino Rota's most radical work finally gets deluxe treatment. His groundbreaking Fellini Satyricon score abandons melody for archaic soundscapes - tribal percussion, atonal instruments, dissonant choirs creating an alien musical language. This avant-garde masterpiece evokes ancient worlds through pure sonic imagination. Limited transparent red vinyl edition of 500.
La Cantata Rossa per Tall el Zaatar
A devastating cry for Palestine, nearly five decades later, this radical 1977 masterpiece returns to vinyl via Black Sweat Records. Demetrio Stratos, Gaetano Liguori, and Giulio Stocchi created a powerful sonic testament to the 1976 Tall el Zaatar massacre - a devastating blend of free jazz, experimental vocals, and Mediterranean traditions. More than music, it's unflinching historical testimony that remains painfully relevant today.
Drifting
After Mette Henriette’s critically acclaimed, self-titled first recording comes Drifting – and album pervaded by trio conversations of idiosyncratic and original expression. With Johan Lindvall returning on piano, new addition Judith Hamann on cello and herself on saxophone, Mette’s chamber musical elaborations prove of a concentrated and exploratory quality, marked by subtle yet intense interaction. Motifs and recurring patterns crystallize and reveal a concise, intricate narrative. The saxopho…
Cymbalism
A legendary album by one of the masters of modern jazz drumming! Recorded by Rudy Van Gelder in 1963, Cymbalism is among the albums Roy Haynes provided for Prestige's New Jazz series. This session features the drummer leading an acoustic quartet with Frank Strozier (alto sax, flute) Ronnie Mathews (piano) and Larry Ridley (bass). An unpredictable Hard Bop-Post Bop transitional album with different colors and moods. From the primary influence of Charlie Parker through a kind of expanded sound ins…
The World At Minds End
Formed in Bristol in 1974, Skywhale blended prog-rock and jazz rock with melodic, energetic instrumentals. Their 1977 album, The World At Mind’s End, showcases virtuoso musicianship and Canterbury influences.
Ornette On Tenor
Ornette Coleman’s "Ornette On Tenor" marks a pivotal moment in jazz, featuring his switch to tenor sax and the addition of Jimmy Garrison on bass. The album’s earthy, darker soundscape, collective improvisation, and absence of fixed themes highlight Coleman’s ongoing musical revolution.
Amoroso
When this album landed on the turntables in 1977, João Gilberto, the Nestor and father of bossa nova, had long enjoyed praise for his life’s work which was still far from complete. His straightforward, sometimes dry and rasping voice sounds out distinctively in the mezzo piano and forges his totally unique and personal style of playing Latin jazz with international appeal. With "Wave", "Triste", "Caminhos Cruzados" and "Zingaro" he brings together on this LP four splendid numbers by his congenia…

From The Lemon Drops To Vibrations Of Sequence In Order
In 1969, The Lemon Drops sought success in San Francisco but disbanded after setbacks, leading to the formation of Watermelon with ambient composer Raphael. Their sound blends fiery psychedelic rock and haunting grooves, captured on rediscovered tapes recorded with just two microphones.
Who Are You?
There was once a time when The Masque’s rare, fiery $400+ single, ‘Lady Of The Land’ b/w ‘Wake Up In The Morning,’ was thought to be unreleased material by Jim Morrison and The Doors — listening to it, it’s quite clear why. And that’s a pretty good starting point for appreciating the Masque. After all, what more could you ask for c. 1970?
Mörk Borg
2025 Vinyl Repress. ONE DAY ALL WILL BLACKEN AND BURN. Just as the two-headed basilisks predicted. Lies, Truth, Denial and Envy embodied. Their riddling yet oddly accurate prophecies were put in ink by Anuk Schleger the monk, in the scrolls that now hold many names - The Nameless Scriptures, The Unwritten, The Dirt Pages. And so far, every promise therein has been realized, hence why both kings and beggars now cry and wail. Everything will blacken and burn. The stormy, Endless Sea will boil and …
Disguise In Love
"Disguise In Love" released in 1978, is the debut album of British punk poet John Cooper Clarke. Renowned for his quick-witted delivery and sharp humor, Clarke fuses punk rock with spoken word, resulting in a one-of-a-kind sonic experience. The album includes tracks such as "I Don't Want To Be Nice," "Valley of the Lost Women," and "(I Married a) Monster from Outer Space," highlighting Clarke's talent for social commentary and dark comedy.
Produced by Martin Hannett, known as (one of) the creat…
Merzbow Mixed Total
The two masters, thousands of miles apart, released this fearsome collaboration in 1997 on Sterilized Decay. Matthew Bower's source sounds were processed, mangled and reassembled by Masami Akita for 50 minutes of unbridled destruction. At once a summation and reconfiguration of both artist's incredible work throughout the 1990s. Remastered and with a new layout based on the original tape.
Red Magnesia Pink
First released by Extreme in the massive, infamous 'Merzbox,' "Red Magnesia Pink" is extracted and recontextualized as a standalone release for the first time. Recorded in 1995, "Red Magnesia Pink" sees Merzbow in peak form. A psychedelic whirlwind of synthetic transmissions; harsh, wet, screeching sounds that could only be produced by Masami Akita. Featuring two previously unreleased bonus tracks from the same era.
Allez-Teia (Heldon II)
Limited Anniversary Edition: hand numbered, White vinyl, 500 copies available! Released in 1975, this second full-length stands as perhaps the most uncompromising statement in the Heldon catalog - a work that refuses all concessions to accessibility while remaining utterly compelling from first pulse to final fade. Where the debut balanced Pinhas's most extreme impulses with moments of relative calm, Allez-Téia feels like an artist completely unleashing his vision without concern for consequence…
Third (It's Always Rock 'N' Roll)
** Limited Anniversary Edition: hand numbered, limited edition light Blue double vinyl, 500 copies available! hird album from the French spacerock electro combo masterminded by Richard Pinhas. Heldon’s darkest work lays another stone in their sonic mosaic: synths,drones, fuzz and trippy improvisations. Intense Heldon!! **

Reflections Of A Golden Dream
Lonnie Liston Smith was one of the most important musicians to emerge in jazz in the 1970s. His 1975 album ‘Expansions’ is one of the foundation stones of modern dance music and his recordings have been sampled by many of the biggest artists in the world. His music was a cosmically inspired spiritual interpretation of the music he had been making during his time with Pharoah Sanders, Gato Barbieri and Miles Davis.
Released in 1976,“Reflections On A Golden Dream”, the follow-up to “Expansions”, w…
